Identity Theft Victims Sue NCSoft

In short, folks have their identity stolen, gold farmers use this information to open "hundreds of thousands" of accounts in Lineage and Lineage 2 and the identity victims foot the bill. Lawsuit ensues.

If NC Soft is found liable, which personally I don't think is likely, it might make all the MMOG companies even more interested in shutting down the secondary market.
